[@D3athChick3n]

Mark actually doesn't do any weird stuff with his false cords, all of his vocal technique actually comes from his hands.

[@KardashevBand]

This. All this. Haha

[@BirdOfHermes83]

And from the beard

Compost Grave-Song At the back of the house by the compost Is the plot where my brother lies dead. “He got lost” That's what I told them, And I'm mocked by the stone on his head. How could I have known it would be like this? It was a mistake! Moss on the carving Covers your name. Return to the dirt…. My memories…. Fading….. And I am to blame. I left you in the dirt that day. How can I stand by your bed? I am a fragment of stone that was broken. Oh, your mind.. Still alive in the trees. Washed away, My mind is distilled into the purest form of grief. Show me your face, my brother forgotten. Let me go. Let me recall. Six feet below… five decades away. You are gone but somehow I stay. Place upon me your blanket of soil. Dead branches above, A chasm beneath me. My regret fades to thoughts I can’t place My mind aches to join you. Bring me rest.

[@5790cmc]

These lyrics are awesome. Dark

I wish we had a detailed vocal breakdown on this song with some fun moments and charming personality...

[@Dosenpruegel]

Ask The Charismatic Voice ^^

[@KardashevBand]

Haha. I might know a guy...

[@LegendMathai]

It’s about his brother that died

[@DatboiDemonX]

Lyric wise, the song tells a story about a man accidentally killing his brother when he was young. 50 years later, he still feels guilt for it.

[@AlexR-lo5ym]

How emotionally, through the movement and gestures of the vocalist, the whole depth of pain and the severity of the loss of a loved one are conveyed. This deserves great respect. P.S. Rest in peace to those who left us. We remember you. You are in our hearts.

[@thybizzle5278]

If anybody is struggling mentally, please reach out to me, I suffer with depression myself, you aren’t alone, this song hits home for me too. Keep fighting the good fight brothers & sisters. Kardashev, thank you, your music, not just to me keeps us going!

My jaw literally dropped when that first clean note came in. Absolutely gorgeous song. Superb singing, Mark \m/

Thanks so much!

[@JpLdrummer]

I've discovered the album yesterday evening... And I'm totally trap by a torment of emotions... Sadness, joy, melancholy... How can it be possible to mix so perfectly beauty, violence, anger... 15000 emotions in a second while I listening to and readind lyrics. Thx Kardashev !

[@Stuckerrs]

Dude, i'm so proud of you Kardashev for actually being on here. Super cool to see more music as well. If you love their music, make sure to check out Mark's youtube channel too.

[@KardashevBand]

Thanks duder! 😃

[@levgoldberg467]

I've really come to like and appreciate this band. Not only is it full of talented musicians and an awesome vocalist creating powerful music but there's just so much thought, effort and passion put behind this band and their songs. Can't wait to hear the whole album

[@animal1439]

The part from 2:16 to 3:08 is seriously some of the most tragically beautiful emotion I've ever heard in a song. "Show me your face, my brother forgotten".... That hits so damn hard

[@Shway34]

Ive nother seen another musician flow to his own music like i do. Why from day one, Ive cried and felt everything Mark writes. He feels the notes, he sees them, he remembers and portrays the emotion every single time he plays it. Its amazing to see. Such a talented band who is paving new roads in music.

[@Prof.Pwnalot]

The amount of passion. Clearly this isn't about money. Keeping the spirit of metal alive "Kardashev". Loving the mindfulness behind the lyrics and bands message also. Outstanding.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thank you for the kind words, it means a ton!

[@KardashevBand]

I super appreciate reading this today. I hope we can continue to make meaningful music for you. :)

[@remorseless.retribvtion]

Listening for my 1st song of this band by youtube recommendation and it's something new for me...very emotional and impressive !

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Thank you for giving the some some of your time, we appreciate you!

Highly recommend Snow-Sleep as well! Very very very sick.

I'm about thirty seconds in right now. DO NOT STOP MAKING THIS MUSIC. Brilliant in my eyes.

[@steveee1972]

For peoples not know this... Kardashev : is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is able to use. The measure was proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964.

[@KardashevBand]

It's probably true. 👍🏽

[@sebspi7762]

I know it's only the first song of the album but I can say that this will be a top album contender for 2022 for sure. There is no competitive that comes close to this atmospheric but yet hard hitting sound. Please continue that way. Cheers

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Much love! I hope you like the full album when it releases June 10th!

[@sebspi7762]

@@KardavoxAcademy I hope I can hold out that long, been jamming this single 15 times by now and still counting. Somehow I don't get tired of this song and won't be disappointed by the upcoming album. Keep on making such amazing music :)

[@curtisburbella909]

Awesome song! I'm glad that it seems like they are keeping their focus on the emotionality/beauty of extreme music. This new album is definitely one of my most anticipated of 2022!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

thank you! We're definitely expanding and building from the sound of The Baring of Shadows

[@thefaboo]

Mark's one of the few metal screamers you look at and think, "I bet that guy gives good hugs." And I bet that mic would back me up on that!

[@KardavoxAcademy]

Haha this is one of the funniest and best compliments I've ever gotten. I do give some bomb hugs!

Bro, he's just a dervish.

[@KardavoxAcademy]

I can't have booze anymore so I gotta get white girl shwasted somehow

My Google Phone suggested a Louder article that mentioned this band. I never got a hold of metal but i was allways fascinated of the dark Sound of black/deathmetal. I actually love synthwave and these vocals make me feel Home. I think i really Like this band. And it sounds honest! This is high quality music!

3:10 downright chilling after that buildup. Bravo, man.

[@KardashevBand]

Aaaaayyyy! 🙏

[@Roderic07]

its just beautiful to see him sing...and watch his body move...pure beauty and emotion

[@SamBrockmann]

I keep listening to this song. My wife's probably like, "Ugh, again." But then I realized, at 3:36, he's pulling his mouth wider. Reminds me of when they teach you to sing with a big, silly grin on your face. This allows for more resonant singing tone.

[@tiberiusrhean759]

I completely agree . I'd give the song 9 out of ten simply because I wanted to hear that GLORIOUS guitar lead three or four more times .. Besides that ... Sheer BANGER ! HOPEFULLY Kardashev gives the fans what they want and extend it in the album edition , but I highly doubt it ... Either way it doesn't even matter .. I'm sure there's more where this came from and the album will show that ! Good work Kardashev ! Looking forward to what's to come !
